With a title like "Six Thanksgivings," Tuesday night screamed an episode that would have too many storylines for its own good, causing me to use some kind of wordplay involving Turkey Day and the word "overstuffed." But it worked beautifully.

"Sometimes" offers the best of both worlds when it comes to "This Is Us": It's a sprawling episode featuring three timelines spread all across two countries, yet it's also one of my oh-so-beloved honed-in episodes, focused on just a few characters.

No, Tuesday night's episode was just a really nice, charming and pleasant hour of television - certainly the sweetest TV show to end with a father and son bonding over men getting knocked the hell out as well as a dog taking a long-awaited dump.
